Kerala police officer Vijayan fights crime in a novel way

Vijayan, an IPS officer from Kochi in Kerala uses unique ways to fight crime. He has enlisted the services of voluntary organisations like Nanma to conduct health camps in crime prone areas. Perhaps one of the most praiseworthy efforts was Nanma's multi-pronged attempt to "cleanse" Udaya Colony.

As the city crime records reveal, this colony, where around 150 families are holed up in miserable conditions, has been the breeding ground for crimes in Kochi. There have been attempts in the past to bring the residents of this colony to the mainstream. But they have not been very successful.
